Hello,

I tried running abrt-action-install-debuginfo with the -ids=- option, providing the hex build_id on stdin on Fedora 15. I am getting an error as follows:

$ abrt-action-install-debuginfo -y --ids=- 67b1a5daf785521a097dd1f29fe9513f60f842f0 Coredump references 1 debuginfo files, 1 of them are not installed Looking for needed packages in repositories Error retrieving filelists: 'failure: repodata/6ad3ddc0b0eb5b314f41c263f9625a9528ed699d8159bebdec56203ab736ccfe-filelists.sqlite.bz2 from fedora-debuginfo: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.' Missing debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/67/b1a5daf785521a097dd1f29fe9513f60f842f0.debug

But when I run abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache also with -ids=- and the same input, it successfully downloads and installs the debuginfo.

My theory would be that abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache, running under user abrt (it's a setuid binary), has access to cached filelist, whereas plain abrt-action-install-debuginfo does not, and therefore it tries to retrieve it and fails.

BTW, what does abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache outputs exactly?

Hi,

The output of abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache is:

Coredump references 1 debuginfo files, 1 of them are not installed Looking for needed packages in repositories Packages to download: 1 Downloading 0.20Mb, installed size: 0.87Mb Downloading (1 of 1) gzip-debuginfo-1.4-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm: 100% Extracting cpio from /tmp/abrt-tmp-debuginfo-2011-07-28-10:39:36.1956/gzip-debuginfo-1.4-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm Caching files from unpacked.cpio made from gzip-debuginfo-1.4-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm Removing /tmp/abrt-tmp-debuginfo-2011-07-28-10:39:36.1956

So that appears to work. Is there any reason I couldn't just use abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache rather than the plain one?

I'm confused. You can use it, right? It's abrt-action-install-debuginfo what doesnt't work, not abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache.

You need to use abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache if you want to install debuginfos to ABRT's cache, which is in /var/cache/abrt-di.

abrt-action-install-debuginfo would not work if you run it under non-root and non-abrt users: /var/cache/abrt-di is not writable for all.

If you want to use abrt-action-install-debuginfo for your own needs, you will have to supply writable --cache=CACHEDIR.
